1944. Towards the end of WWII in Vermiglio - a high, remote mountain village in the Italian Alps - the arrival of Pietro, a deserted soldier, disrupts the dynamics of a local family, changing them forever.
Pietro, a Sicilian, keeps mostly to himself. However, he establishes a mild flirtation with Lucia - the eldest daughter of Cesare, the much-respected village schoolteacher. Soon, Pietro and Lucia are falling in love. But their pairing sets in motion a series of events that pushes the family towards tragedy and shakes the entire village.
Told in four chapters, each set in a different season, Maura Delpero’s film is powerful and stunning. Beautifully photographed and filled with emotion, it’s a story of women, war and family.
